GAME CHANGER!
By Labs4Life on Jan 11, 2021
Our 8 month old lab was just awful on leash; 50# of pure muscle ready to rumble! I have to admit, I have looked down my nose at these nose-type leaders in the past- I am a firm believer that you need to train your dog and with consistent effort, you can eventually gain success.

I have to admit, I have looked down my nose at these nose-type leaders in the past- I am a firm believer that you need to train your dog and with consistent effort, you can eventually gain success. But NO ONE was enjoying our attempts to 'walk' River until we took a gamble on the Gentle Leader. Problem solved. Yes, she was not happy with it at first, tried to prise it off and generally fought against it. But we put it on for a few minutes at a time, indoors, and distracted her with lots of praise and treats. She still wigged out a couple times once we ventured outside, but she quickly realized that pulling against the leader did not accomplish anything. I found that as long as I kept a little upward traction against her struggle, she couldn't put her head down and prise it off. Once we sorted that out, off we went for a pleasant walk down the road with no more drama. I'm so glad my daughter insisted we try this product! … more

Faulty clasp
By Kinger on Dec 29, 2020
Just purchased this for my 35 lbs 7 month mini Bernedoodle who pulls on walks all the time.

I watched the DVD & read the instructions & read thru all of the questions & answers on website including other reviews. I cannot get the little clasp which holds the nose loop in place to “click” closed so it just loosens up as soon as my dog moves. I don’t know if I’m not pressing something right - I’ve tried numerous times and it doesn’t click so I’m guessing I got a defective one and now I need to deal with the return hassle which I can’t stand. Therefore, I really don’t know how well this works, but I can see from other reviews that others have had this problem and so I am not recommending it. … more

Amazing training tool!!
By Kristyn on Jan 24, 2021
I put this on my 65 lb Goldendoodle this afternoon for the first time and I was absolutely shocked at how well she took to it and didn’t “walk me” today! I actually got to have a nice walk with my girl without her pulling me the entire time.

My shoulders thank you!
By Susan on Jan 24, 2021
My 70 lb puppy has always been a puller. I've tried several different harnesses with the same result. He definitely pulls less with this gentle lead which is much easier on my body. However, he hates it and resists putting it on, then fights me when we leave the house. He is the most headstrong dog I've ever had, but will continue 'til he's convinced!

Runs small
By Leash on Jan 23, 2021
Runs a bit small...I measured my dogs neck and snout as instructed and got the size according to the chart. It's a bit tight, I'm gonna have to return and size up.

Holy Grail
By Jill on Jan 22, 2021
Literally so impressed with how well this worked. I have a large, very strong dog who loves to pull - as a 5'2 woman, this has been a huge challenge for me to try to walk and train him. This stopped his pulling more than any other harness or collar I have tried (and I've tried them all). Kind of hard to get it to fit at first, but just so thankful for this product!

Wow, it really does work!
By Pamela on Jan 19, 2021
We have a very energetic eight year old shepherd mix that we adopted six years ago. She is always in a hurry and leash pulling on our daily walk which wears us out. Thankfully, we’ve almost put an end to her lunging at other dogs but the leash pulling is so hard to stop. We’ve tried a few different harnesses without luck but the Gentle Leader really does work. If she forgets and starts to pull, she immediately pauses. We’re very fortunate that it only took a couple of walks for her to become acclimated to the new gear. I’m amazed and enjoying our walks so much more!

Worked as advertised.
By Bonnie on Jan 17, 2021
Recently 'adopted' #100 Great Dane/Black Lab. While he has no mean bones in his body, at 18 months he probably has more growing to go. Unfortunately he is unaware of just how big and strong he is. He about pulled my husband off his feet when walking with a regular harness. We tried a no-pull harness which was ok, but he chewed it up when it was left within his reach. The gentle leader has allowed my husband to continue to walk him with the confidence of being able to maintain control. Although he sometimes fights the gentle lead when he wants to 'visit' with other dogs.

A pleasure to walk now
By Miki on Jan 16, 2021
Using this on my son’s Norwegian Elk hound. He pulled so hard, no one wanted to walk him. We had a harness on him so he wouldn’t hurt his trachea. I use the gentle leader and his harness and a leash from each because having read reviews that said the gentle leader breaks and then you lose your dog, I didn’t want to chance it. Walking nicely is now a thing!

Get It Now
By 2BigDogsandaCat on Jan 16, 2021
OMG I wish I would have bought this years ago for my 13 year old dog. No more pulling. It took a week for my old dog to get used to the feel. I started with a few small walks and lots of treats. Did the same for the puppy. Now I can walk both dogs which are 75+lbs all by myself.

wonderful leader
By Danielle on Jan 16, 2021
Heavy duty, gentle, easy fitting! This has been such a breeze to teach my dog proper walking etiquette. I only had to use it a couple of times and he figured out how he was supposed to be walking with me. We no longer need it.. I love this product and how fast it helped me train my pups!
